Great album....for me a potential AOTY. Its very cohesive, consistent, and operating at a high level throughout. Impressed with Oddisee on the mic. If anything, my only criticism is that the album stays in a comfortable lane and doesn't' take too many chances. It makes for a cohesive listen, but I'm not sure I'll revisit this as much as something like RAP music.

Real good album, cop it here:

Imbued with love, honesty, and selflessness, The Good Fight is virtuosic in its musicality, direct in its language, and infinitely relatable.
In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist has created a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop.
For Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. It’s a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. It’s our ambition and greed warring with our sense of propriety - a list of paradoxes we all face when living and striving.
Oddisee’s production simmers in its own orchestral gumbo. You sense he’s really a jazzman in different form, inhabiting the spirit of Roy Ayers and other past greats. The Fader’s compared him to a musical MC Escher, calling hailing his “grandiose and symphonic sound” and “relevant relatable messages.” Pitchfork praised his “eclectic soulful boom-bap.”
“The Good Fight” acknowledges the stacked odds, but refuses to submit

This is probably my favorite solo work from oddisee, and I was already a big fan. Great stuff.
